Aberfan was only 25 miles from where I was raised. 

Please, for those of us old enough to remember just imagine how lucky we are to have all we have. For those of us too young to remember, please take a moment to spare a thought for the survivors, families of the survivors and those who died that day.

    I drove near to Aberfan today and MrsTheWeary said she'd seen the anniversary mentioned in the news. 
    There is much of South Wales that seems to say these are places that have known hard times. Beautiful countryside and glorious sea views but that history of hard lives never seems far away either. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.
